Is it normal that I don't get an update for 4.2? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello all
I have a Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250), YAKJUXW) and it says that 4.1.1 is the latest version available to update over the air.
Is it normal? I know that some people are getting 4.2 already.. and mine even isn't 4.1.2
Could someone please explain to me why I only get this version? Shouldn't Nexus devices get the latest versions all the time?
Thanks!

i don't know what's your version ? i mean model... variant i don't know what's it called.. check it by going to Maps/Setting/About and the you will see Samsung ******* under Device.

Who got 4.2 ota? Galaxy nexus should still be on 4.1

uh no it shouldnt. the factory images are up for 4.2.

So guys i'm a little confused here
Should I get 4.2 or not? or the 4.1.1 is the latest one?
By the way, my device is YAKJUXW
Thanks again

Wondering the same thing.

Because your Galaxy Nexus is yakjuwx rather than just yakju or takju, your updates are governed by Samsung as opposed to Google. I'll assume that you bought your Galaxy Nexus from your carrier. If you're desperate to update to Android 4.2, the only way to get it right now is by flashing the takju or yakju factory image to your device. efrant has posted an excellent guide on how to do so here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

AllBlaxx had the correct answer, if you have another build than takju or yakju you have to wait much longer, because updates distributed by samsung.

AllBlaxx, darkarvan thanks guys for the info.
*going to flash yakju*

Galaxy Nexus yakjuzs jelly bean update

Noob.
Galaxy Nexus bought it from HK via a friend. My brother has the same phone brought over from the play store (yakju or takju).. He got the update for jelly bean.
I know how to convert my HK yakjuzs device into yakju but i don't want to take the risks that 'can' up happen lol, so does anyone have any idea when will samsung role out the official update to jelly bean for yakjuzs galaxy nexus devices?

Is 4.2 ota ever coming to yakjuxw

Or should i give up and flash yakju ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Give up.
It takes a long time to get JB 4.2.1 for Yakjuxw (more than 3 months, like always...) So that's why I use Takju on my Nexus to get latest Android update.
Will flashing takju/yakju change anything on my phone such as writing languages or operator support?

While working through the thread would serve you well & help give you a foundation going forward the flash all bat will work as long as you have the fastboot drivers set up.

The hardware on all GSM Galaxy Nexii(?) is the same. The yakju / takju builds are the build that are directly maintained by Google. There are a variety of yakjuxx builds that are maintained by Samsung.
Couple of colleagues of mine using yakjuxw handsets just received the OTA update for 4.2.1. It would seem the update is finally rolling out here in India.
i live in Norway and i've recieved OTA 4.2.1 today. It's about the f......g time

If im not mistaken OTA stands for over the air updates. and if you root and flash a new rom to your phone you wont have that available to you. There are a few 4.2 roms look in the galaxy nexus forums for your specific phone carrier, Sprint, verixon, or gsm. and read. A lot of questions can be answered by reading everything in the forums. you look at
Indeed it does lol I'm just wondering if I'm going to get the ota ? Or to I have to do something in order to get the ota

You will have to convert to tajku or yajku firmware versions since those get the updates the fastest. I believe there is a sticky related to this...

[Q] Samsung galaxy nexus update to 4.3 and 5.0?

Do you think that the galaxy nexus will still be updated to android 4.3 and 5.0?
Definitely get 4.3 with gnex as its still jellybean an its not exactly a major update just a couple of tweaks here an there, why would they discontinue the jellybean updates with the gnex while we are already on jellybean that's just stupid as for android 5 i seriously doubt we will get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i think we will get 5.0 also since majority of the phones in the market are still on gb and ics and single core phones, ours is still dual core and i feel its got enough juice to run the future os versions
I think the nexus 4 and 7 will get the 5.0 update, for the galaxy nexus probably only 4.3 hopefully also 5.0

Flash the Factory image via fastboot. Search for a way to do it with not losing your data.

[Q] Probably a stupid question but i cant get an answer...

Ok so i've combed trough the forums to try to find an answer but so far got nothing conclusive so i would appreciate if anyone know anything about..
I've got a Gnex stock rom 4.2.1 yakjuxw (both in Portugal, sim free brand new more than a year ago) never rooted and so far i got no 4.3 OTA update...
So my question is, did anyone receive the OTA in Portugal and/or Spain? iv'e read a that lot of people "stuffed" the other versions firmware by "hand" but i would like to know if Samsung is updating officially this devices in Europe before i do any mod on it.
thks.
So... nobody can help?
Why dont you just flash the latest factory image?

Check here:
The factory images for your galaxy nexus would be the ones under "yakju".

The codename takju was given for the phones sold through the play store.and yakju for the phones sold internationally. Both of them support gsm.
